There are few things more frustrating to me than when someone says they wish they could afford something, and then you tell them pretty much exactly how they can, but then they won’t do it.

As many know, I got my start making money regularly online 5-6 years ago primarily in Paid to Click, Paid to Read, and GPT/paid offer sites.

A few years ago, I had a friend, a single mom, who was laid off from her job, and the situation repeated itself a couple more times over the next couple of years. I had two other friends who lost their jobs in similar fashion around that same time, both of whom also had children.

These folks needed extra money in a big way, and I outlined for each of them exactly where they could go, and what they could do, to earn a little extra basically free money every week.

Did any of them take action and do it? Nope.

Here in TE Land, I’ll occasionally hear/see people talking about how they wish they could make their own splash pages, but they can’t afford AdKreator. Yes, the regular membership fee is higher, but there is indeed a deal available that you can get for under $10 monthly.

Or they need an autoresponder, but they don’t have the $10 a month for RocketResponder. Or they can’t afford the $9 every month for tracking with trck.me, or they wish they could upgrade at ClickTrackProfit, but they can’t afford the $9 monthly.

The long-established PTC site ClixSense (which also has paid offers and plenty of other stuff to earn on) is one of the sites included in your training for ClickTrackProfit (ClixSense is Step 4 in the JumpStart Steps, CTP’s first section of training videos), and is also one of the first paid-to sites I ever joined way back in 2007 or 2008.

ClixSense pays twice a week, on Mondays and Fridays, and their minimum cashout is only $8 for free members and $6 for upgraded members. The yearly upgrade is $17 annually, so yes, that’s another $17 – but let me tell you, it is completely worth it because you earn a whole lot faster and there’s more to earn on (not to mention being able to cash out at $6).

If you spent a little time at ClixSense every day working their Daily Checklist Bonus, clicking all the PTC ads you can, and doing a couple or more surveys there every day, it is dead easy to be able to cash out at least once a week. That’s a theoretical six to eight dollars weekly.

Sure, you won’t likely qualify for every survey available, but I have found the SSI Surveys (listed in the ClixOffers sections) are generally easy to qualify for at least once or twice a day, and those pay $0.85 each. And there are lots of other surveys in the ClixOffers section, as well as especially the Peanut Labs section, in varying amounts, some paying even a dollar or more each.

You could actually make even more depending on how much time and effort you want to put in and even get paid twice weekly if you really wanted to put more effort and time into it. I have always been an upgraded member at ClixSense, and I could easily make that $6 weekly payout every week by spending about a half hour to an hour a night on it, sometimes more, sometimes less.

Yes, it takes a little time and effort. It might take a half hour to an hour out of your surfing time every day, but then you’d have all the basic tools you’d need to build your CTP-based business, or basically ANY online business.

Mainly, it just takes action. I actually explained all of the above this week about ClixSense, in a little more detail, to someone who said they couldn’t afford one of the above services fairly recently. I’m pretty sure they didn’t do anything about it though (and are probably still talking to others about how they wish they could afford X service/program but can’t).

So yeah, I just told you where there’s a fairly easy six to eight dollars weekly to be made online that could easily pay for any combination of three out of AdKreator, ClickTrackProfit, trck.me, and RocketResponder. And possibly pay for all four of them, or at least close.

So, will your answer be, “Oh, that’s just too much trouble”?

Or will you say okay, and take action and DO it?

So. You’ve laid out the steps, you’ve issued the instructions, you have posted the probable return in a time/money format. What’s left?? Well, you covered that too. Take action and commit to a project!!

Thanks Tom! You know, the only problem with the whole thing is that even though I pretty much laid it out & said exactly how to do it, probably only about one in 100 will actually take action.

But that one person will be the one making profits & residual income down the line, so that’s great enough.

I just wish EVERYONE would, or at least consider it. It’s just so stinkin’ easy to make at least a dollar a day online, which is $30 a month, which would cover almost all expenses for someone starting out. Sigh.

It always amuses me when people say they can’t afford this or that or whatever and yet they are probably advertising a program that says ‘Hey, how to make $xxx a day!’
I look at this as a business and I need to invest in it to get the best tools available to earn an income – it works!

Yup Keith, matter of fact I saw that very scenario discussed in CTP chat & Legacy chats lately. It is a paradox of sorts!

Thanks for stopping by and commenting in any case – I had seen some of your pages in the TEs and was certainly glad when I returned to action to see you were still around and still doing your thing! :-)

If you really thought hard about it, you can figure out how to squeeze $10 out of your budget or put a little bit of effort to offset the monthly cost. I think it’s just an excuse. If someone really wants it, they’ll figure out a way to get it. It’s just easier to say I can’t rather than sacrifice something else to better your situation.

Now, that said, I know there are sometimes extenuating circumstances and catastrophic situations that happen, and it certainly happened to me beginning in late 2010 & throughout most of the next two years after – there was life-crushing devastation and I literally did not have a cent to spare for a while and there wasn’t anything left to sacrifice, and what little I did earn absolutely had to go to basic living expenses. I held on to my upgrades and memberships as long as I could but eventually had to cut them out one by one. I couldn’t be online to make any money in TE land and with no money coming in, I had no choice at the time, nor did I have any time for a long while to do much of anything but (literally) survive.

But my situation at the time was pretty catastrophic and pretty much about a half step away from the worst that could happen, it was somewhat unusual.

MOST of the time though, yeah… people don’t want to figure it out, they either don’t want to make some sacrifices and cuts where they could, or (probably more often) they just don’t want to go to the time and trouble. I’ve witnessed some examples of the latter lately… people saying they don’t have the money for things like RocketResponder or AdKreator, and I’ve even explained to a couple of them pretty much the very same thing I did in this post about how they could, but it appeared to have fallen on deaf ears. They don’t want to go to the effort to go to ClixSense or some of the others and make some money to pay for such things… yet they’ll surf and sit in chat for literally hours. That’s where I get frustrated, knowing what they could accomplish with a little more effort!

BTW, it’s so good to see you still around and ESPECIALLY great to see how much you have accomplished in my absence from TE land with your TE empire and related services, and I have become a huge fan of your TEs since I returned! I can say, “Hey, I knew him when!” LOL :D

Thanks for dropping in and commenting, Eric, keep on keeping on with all the good things you’re doing for this industry! :-)
